Stan Collymore in the Daily Mirror today sums up Wengers 21 years at Arsenal in 5 words:
Innovative
Exceptional
Invincible
Average
Poor
I would probably change exceptional with lucky
Is that "football legend" Stan Collymore? The bloke more famous for beating up Ulrika-ka-ka and getting floored by a Dublin barman and banging random slags in carparks, than for anything he did on the pitch? THAT Stan Collymore?
Quoting him actually cheapens our argument about Wenger.

Also I would substitute Innovative with Borrowed from Other Dutch Coaches...which is what he did with Diets and Training Times & Techniques.
Exceptional with Damn Lucky and Fortunate' (which is when he signed his pact with Beelzeebub)
Invincible - The Team were he wasn't and NEVER will be
Average with - Clinging by his fingernails and teeth to achievements by players who were the real Geniuses (aka: Vieira, Bergkamp & Henry) Innovators and Invincibles
Poor - with Utter shyte and well past his sell by date.
Stan Kroenke has made a bid to purchase Alisher Usmanov’s shareholding in Arsenal, an offer which is currently under consideration by the Russian business magnate.
Back in May the Financial Times reported that Alisher Usmanov had made a bid to purchase Stan Kroenke’s shareholding in Arsenal.
The billionaire, who currently holds a 30.04% stake, tabled a £1.3bn offer which the American rejected, reaffirming his desire to maintain his own 67% shareholding.
Now, Arseblog News understands that Kroenke has turned the tables, and approached Usmanov two weeks ago with a bid to purchase his shares, a move which would give him more than 97% of the shares in the club.
According to claims for The Guardian, the American businessman wants to increase his shareholding in the club to more than 97 per cent.
Kroenke, who owns 67 per cent of Arsenal at present, wants to purchase the Russian's 30.4% stake in the north London club.
If indeed the American billionaire manages to buy Usmanov's shares, he would then be in a position where he could squeeze out the club's minority shareholders.

This will be a disaster.....
On a serious level, how are we going to get out of ths 'rut'?
We go through a bad patch, then pick up points and then back again...
At what point does the club say "time is up" on Wenger?
Surely this has got to be his last two years?!
I really miss the days of Highbury and having players get us up on our feet with excitment.
I just miss the good old days where players played for the team. Football has just become so shit.

Sorry for the rant, one of them days.
It has supposedly been his last contract for at least the last 3 renewals!
Wenger will only go when Wenger wants to go, which will probably be in a box.
There is no appetite from the owner or board to get rid of him and there is very little appetite from the supporters to force him out.

I think there is/was an appetite to get rid of him from the board, the problem is they were overruled by wiggy w*nker, which is even worse really.
90% of Arsenal's fanbase has been "zombified" thanks to the Emirates move, starting to f*cking hate the place now.

Think reading this quote speaks volumes.....
Moneyball man Billy Beane has revealed he is a “huge fan” of the Arsenal business model as he negotiates to takeover Barnsley.
Im not ever going back....im done...times have changed.....got to adjust and move on....

He will want to beat Ferguson's 26 year record so maybe he might be gone in 6 years time if that's any help?

Dunno so much...I've heard him say publicly...."Loook...it's not about me"
It means that at least we usually play decent football; England don’t even have the ability to string two passes together. I wasn’t using Southgate as a yardstick just observing how appalling he is, and at £3.25m per year he is probably even worse value than Wenger at £8m or whatever he gets.
Anyway, it’s no big deal, I was just feeling pissed off with England as I support them and always go to Wembley to see them play!!
